Cast off the constraints of the day, open your eyes, your heart, and your mind to the enchanted

mystery of all that lies beneath the starry sky. Slow down and contemplate your dreams,

your relationship to the natural world, and the ancient traditions of mystical thinking from divination

and astrology to ancient philosophy and self-exploration all by the light of the moon.

Welcome to episode number 18 of the Joe DeVoe show. I'm your host, Joanna DeVoe, but you can call me Joe, and I am here to uplift and support my fellow creatives, lovable weirdos, and makers of magic, especially the makers of magic today,

because today we have a very special guest.

My Atoll is back on the show, and we have a really fun giveaway plan for one lucky listener and this is a limited time

offering so I'm just going to lead with it so you can get with it and win this awesome

awesome prize Maya has a brand new book out called The Night School, Lessons in Moonlight, Magic, and the Mysteries of Being Human, which is where that little excerpt that I read at the beginning of this episode came from.

And if you win the giveaway, you not only will win that book, you will also win the companion journal that goes with it

called Notes for the Night, a guided journal for moonlit magic, and that is not all. You will also

receive the night school moonlit deck, which is very enchanting. It's like a little tiny,

condensed, boxed version of the book.

And there are 100 cards. They're like flashcards for night school. And magic. It's so much

fun. I want to shout out the illustrator because the illustrations in this book and journal

and deck are absolutely gorgeous. I'm a little

bit afraid that I'm going to mispronounce her last name. It is C-L-E-R-C and her name is Lucille Clerc. Something

like that, but gorgeous, gorgeous illustrations. Shout out to Lucille.

And gorgeous, gorgeous words.

Maya is such a romantic author.

I love the way that she writes.

And I love the way that she treats her readers.
